New Delhi:
The commercial performance of Fighter, starring Bollywood icons Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, has been maintaining its pace towards the coveted Rs 200-crore club. As of its 13th day, the Siddharth Anand film raised another Rs 3.25 crore according to a report by Sacnilk, showcasing intense aerial action and marking the first on-screen pairing of Roshan and Padukone. Its collective earnings now sum up to Rs 181.75 crore.
Adding controversy, the filmmakers behind Fighter were served a legal notice from a Wing Commander of the Indian Air Force, situated in Assam, challenging a scene where actors donning IAF uniforms engage in a kiss. The notice emphasized that this was the officer’s individual perspective and not representational of the IAF as a whole. He argued that the sequence was demeaning and portrayed an unrealistic image of the force, which could potentially discredit the institution and the sacrifices of its members.

NDTV’s film critic Saibal Chatterjee provided a mixed critique, rating the movie 2.5 stars. He indicated that the friendship showcased in the film between characters Shamsher and Sartaj Gill (played by Karan Singh Grover) becomes a crucial element of the narrative. Nonetheless, the ‘bromance’ appeared one-sided. Despite that,
Chatterjee acknowledged that the film squarely focuses on Hrithik Roshan’s character, and the subtle romantic element between the lead and his love interest, Minal, delivers some emotionally impactful scenes.
The motion picture Fighter hit the theaters on January 25.
